Delete a Project Task
To remove a Project Task object, first select the object and then call the Delete method. The following C# and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) examples show how to delete a Project Task object.
C#
private void DeleteProjectTask()
{
Outlook.ApplicationClass _app = new Outlook.ApplicationClass();
Outlook.Application olApp = (Outlook.Application)_app;
Outlook.NameSpace olNameSpace = _app.GetNamespace("MAPI");
Outlook.Folders folders = olNameSpace.Session.Folders;
Outlook.Folder bcmRootFolder = (Outlook.Folder)folders["Business Contact Manager"];
//first create a BCM project
Outlook.Folder projects = (Outlook.Folder)bcmRootFolder.Folders["Business Projects"];
Outlook.Folder projectTasksFolder = (Outlook.Folder)projects.Folders["Project Tasks"];
string strQuery = "[Subject] = 'Task 1 for Sales Project with Wide World Importers'";
Outlook.TaskItem projectTaskItem = (Outlook.TaskItem)projectTasksFolder.Items.Find(strQuery);
if (projectTaskItem != null)
{
projectTaskItem.Delete();
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Project Task not found");
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
VBA
Sub DeleteProjectTask()
Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim olFolders As Outlook.Folders
Dim bcmRootFolder As Outlook.Folder
Dim bcmProjFolder As Outlook.Folder
Dim bcmProjectTasksFolder As Outlook.Folder
Dim existProjectTask As Outlook.TaskItem
Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objNS = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set olFolders = objNS.Session.Folders
Set bcmRootFolder = olFolders("Business Contact Manager")
Set bcmProjFolder = bcmRootFolder.Folders("Business Projects")
Set bcmProjectTasksFolder = bcmProjFolder.Folders("Project Tasks")
Set existProjectTask = bcmProjectTasksFolder.Items.Find("[Subject] = 'Task 1 for Sales Project with Wide World Importers'")
If Not TypeName(existProjectTask) = "Nothing" Then
existProjectTask.Delete
Else
MsgBox ("Project Task not found")
End If
Set existProjectTask = Nothing
Set bcmProjFolder = Nothing
Set bcmProjectTasksFolder = Nothing
Set bcmRootFolder = Nothing
Set olFolders = Nothing
